No.
I think it's dumb.
The auditions aren't funny, it's people who can't sing and think they are funny.
And after that it's boring.
I watch Canadian Idol. You're probably thinking, WHY IT'S THE SAME THING. It's not, they take the auditions seriously, NOT everyone gets to go sing for the judges, so you aren't forced to watch and hour of gruelling, horrible singers. The judges are better (they don't make fools of themselves [I'm talking to you Paula]) and I can stand the host a little bit longer than I can stand Ryan Seacrest.
